Being Present

"When your goals are reached, they will be reached in the 'right now'... you will still be you, doing the same things you do now. You will still stand up. Walk around. Get root canals. Open the refrigerator door. Sleep. Feel happy. Feel devastated. Feel lonely. Feel loved. Get old. Die"
-Geneen Roth

A conversation with my dear friend last week opened a path of thought... As I dramatically unraveled my problems and situations, she stopped me in my tracks with one single sentence... "Jules, it's time for you to live in the present, and enjoy the now."...Click... I realized my name is not Atlas, nor am I punished by Zeus to carry the World on my back...so why do I act like I am?
Maybe you have felt this way... Maybe you will in the future...Hopefully, this sentence will remind you of the beauty in being 'present'. Thank you my dear friend for the gift of your words...what a wonderful way to use language.

About Me

When I was first introduced to the concept of moksha, I fell in love with the depths of its meaning, purpose and message. My reality of the concept, moksha, is the perfect definitive climax and release from what we call life. Some believe we are reborn and reincarnated back to earth, but what is the purpose of always living again and again? Moksha. To live a life that is deserving of the ultimate liberation, the ultimate release. Moksha is a concept that finds it's roots in Indian religions such as Hinduism. I am not Hindu, but I am a spiritual being that has a deep appreciation for many different religions and concepts attempting to explain meaning, purpose, higher elements of power, love and life. My ultimate goal on this earth is to live a happy, healthy, fun-filled, meaningful and helpful life. In doing so, I will attempt to embrace simplicities that bring meaning to my life everyday. Please come along with me as I share with you all the things I feel add beauty, depth, and meaning to life on planet Earth. I hope you enjoy my blog.
